Gingerbread!
We had great fun with our
gingerbread-centered lessons!
The unit was completed today as we followed the trail of clues left by the Gingerbread Man--yes, he ran away from our classroom! Thankfully, he ultimately decided that kindergarten is the place to be! :-)

| Ten seconds in a water bath will cause a cookie to crumble! |
 |
| The gingerbread glyphs tell stories about each of us. |
 |
| Teen numbers line up with the help of a few gingerbread friends. |
 |
| We used buttons to measure the area and perimeter of the gingerbread template. |
 |
| We rolled the cube and added that number of "gifts" until we filled the grid. |
 |
| We added descriptive words to a character chart. |
 |
| We built word families with bottle caps. |
 |
| In Art class, we built houses with basic shapes and added details. |

Speech and Word Festival Info
(2012: The Speech and Word Festival is held on the campus of Christian Outreach School in Hillsboro, Missouri. The K-3 grade students of WCCA will be competing on February 22.
2012 will be the first year that WCCA kindergartners have competed!)
In 2013, the Festival will take place at Living Word Academy, in February.
Each participating school is allowed to bring 2 students per grade level for each category.
The kindergartners will compete in Bible Memorization and Poetry; each selection must be 0.5-1 minute in length. Your child may choose to memorize a selection for one categories.
General Rules:
Please select your piece/s by our return to school on (Jan. 3, 2012.) JAN. 11, 2013.
I will provide a list of possible selections, but you are welcome to do your own search! As you are perusing choices with your child, set a timer to check the designated time limit.
A new page link will be added under the blog header, dedicated to possible selections for the Speech and Word Festival. I will be working on this over the weekend!

General Rules:
- Each participant must announce her/his name, grade, and title of selection. If suitable, the author of the selection may be announced.
- Bible memory selections should not have any gestures.
- Limited gestures in good taste for other selections are encouraged. Body movement and facial expression help to communicate the message. However, this is a speech competition, not a drama competition!
- Participants are permitted a ten-second over time leeway for the conclusion of their presentations. NO leeway is permitted for times less than listed limits. A deduction of one point per second, up to ten points, will be given for any presentation under time required or over the given ten-second leeway. Time begins with the first word of the selection. Introductions are not included in the time limits.
- All selections must be memorized.
- Parents and guests are welcome at the competition.
